Anyone else disappointed with the 3rd Gen Tundra TRD 4x4 rims?

Hey guys, I was curious if anyone else is a little disappointed with the 3rd gen TRD 4x4 rims. I like the matte black color and overall spoke design, but putting 20in rims on a “off-road” package seems a little strange to me. For off-roading I really want a good tire with plenty of sidewall so I can comfortably air down and not worry about my rims getting scratched, 20s are about the last rim I would want for that purpose! I would understand these rims for a TRD sport trim that’s a little more focused for street and dirt but for the 4x4 off-road I feel like they could have stepped it up. I get that the TRD Pro is their more purpose driven offroad vehicle, but I feel like a majority of people who opt for the TRD 4x4 have the intent of taking it out in the dirt. I feel like a more purposeful TRD 4x4 rim might make sense. Would love to hear thoughts on this, do you guys like the 20s? Or would a 17in off-road option (that isn’t the $3500 TRD Pro rims) be appreciated

Let's be honest, it's a V6 with Turbos...I'm not sure why Toyota thought it would be good to make these trucks sound like they have a loud V8 but they did. I had an SR5 before my Platinum, and I actually grew to like the sound of the new engine and hearing the turbos spool up when I eased into the throttle.

So when I got my Platinum, I knew I had to turn the noise off, and I'm glad I did. I also turned the annoying seatbelt chime off among other things.
